C 【解析】 原文】Amaya Edwards, a 10-year-old superstar, suffered from a rare heart disease at 5. But that hasn’t stopped her passion for the ocean. At seven, on a trip to the sea, she found a struggling starfish on the beach. With her parents’ help, she gently carried it back to the water. Watching it come back to life in the waves was the magical moment that lit up her dream to be a marine biologist. Since then, she has cleaned her local beach nearly every day! After finding a dead seal on the sand, Amaya created a powerful poster to raise people’s awareness of littering. It was so effective, the governor of Georgia turned it into a postcard and Amaya raised £500 for marine rescue charities through its sales. But she didn’t stop there. Amaya has written and illustrated five books to help children learn how to protect ocean wildlife and reuse materials creatively. Her books are now available to buy in the UK, USA, and Australia, with the profits supporting charities like the Sea Life Trust. From rescuing wildlife to leading global campaigns, the incredible girl is showing that anyone at any age can protect the Earth. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A With the rise of smartphones and more hobby options, many people worry that fewer young people read books. The report Teenager Reading in the Digital Age, published in April 2024, examined how much teenagers read for leisure. A research team led by Leonie Rutherford, a specialist in young people and media at Deakin University in Australia, surveyed 13,000 high school students about their free-time reading habits between March 2022 and June 2023. Here are the results of the survey. The study also looked at reading blogs, online magazines, and news media. Most students read these forms weekly or less often. Only 10% said they read them every day, while more than a third never read them at all. Listening to audiobooks was also uncommon, with only 13% of students reporting that they listened to audiobooks in their free time. Given these findings, the researchers suggest efforts to increase reading among young people. They point out that reading for leisure can improve vocabulary and contextual knowledge, support better school grades, enhance employment opportunities, and promote mental well-being. Supporting this view, a paper published in 2012 by a professor of educational research at the University of Bamberg in Germany showed that continuous reading leads to improved reading and writing skills, and that it is important to read books, rather than short content such as e-mails and blogs. 21. How many students read books every day according to the survey? A. 1,430. B. 1,560. C. 1,950. D. 2,080. 22. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Fading of traditional reading. B. Popularity in digital reading. C. Reasons for leisure reading. D. Reading outside of books. 23. What can we learn from the paper in 2012? A. Continuous reading is difficult. B. Reading books is more beneficial. C. Checking e-mails improves reading. D. Few students have good reading habits. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍2024年《数字时代青少年阅读》报告的调查结果，分析青少年休闲阅读现状及相关研究结论。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。 根据图表中“Daily(每天阅读)”占比15%，以及第二段中“A research team led by Leonie Rutherford, a specialist in young people and media at Deakin University in Australia, surveyed 13,000 high school students about their free-time reading habits between March 2022 and June 2023.(澳大利亚迪肯大学青少年与媒体专家 Leonie Rutherford 带领的研究团队，在2022年3月至2023年6月期间调查了13000名高中生的课余阅读习惯)”，计算得13000×15%=1950 。故选C。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The study also looked at reading blogs, online magazines, and news media. Most students read these forms weekly or less often. Only 10% said they read them every day, while more than a third never read them at all. Listening to audiobooks was also uncommon, with only 13% of students reporting that they listened to audiobooks in their free time.(该研究还关注了阅读博客、在线杂志和新闻媒体的情况。大多数学生每周或更少时间阅读这些内容。只有10%的学生表示他们每天阅读这些内容，而超过三分之一的学生从未阅读过。听有声书也并不常见，只有13%的学生报告他们在空闲时间听有声书)”可知，本段主要介绍书本之外的其他阅读形式。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Supporting this view, a paper published in 2012 by a professor of educational research at the University of Bamberg in Germany showed that continuous reading leads to improved reading and writing skills, and that it is important to read books, rather than short content such as e-mails and blogs.(为支持这一观点，德国班贝格大学教育研究教授在2012年发表的一篇论文表明，持续阅读能提升读写能力，且阅读书籍比阅读电子邮件和博客等短内容更重要)”可知，该论文指出阅读书籍更有益。故选B。 B Alex Williamson was just a teenager when he began a “part time” job working on Windermere Lake Cruises famous passenger vessels (船舰). He loves it so much that he’s still there after all these years and has earned the nickname “The Boat Doctor”, which has become a perfect match for what he does every day. He never fails to fix whatever problem there might be, anything from breakages, worn-out parts, to door handles. He hates the idea of any visitor being disappointed. Alex started crewing vessels at sixteen and completed a six-year apprenticeship (学徒期) as a boat builder. His favourite vessels are the traditional wooden launches. “I see myself as their caretaker and won’t let them fall into disrepair on my watch.” One highlight was taking charge of the wooden launch “Queen of the Lake” during its transport to London for the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. “It was a once in a lifetime event. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck sticking up!” says Alex. “To be part of history, I’ll never forget it!” Things have changed a lot over the years. Technology on new vessels like MV Swift, which entered service in October 2020, is quite different from that on the heritage “steamers” like Tern, Swan and Teal. But Alex says he won’t change a thing about his life working on Windermere’s vessels. John Woodburn, Operations Director for Windermere Lake Cruises, says, “Alex has always been hard working. He learnt his boat building skills from the ‘old hands’ and these traditional skills are almost a lost art. He has a rare talent for fixing boats.” “I just love to see the excitement of passengers boarding. It’s magical,” Alex says. “Even on my day off, I often watch the boats — I have to slip around like a spy because if anyone from work sees me, they shout, ‘Can you come and fix this, Alex?’” And honestly, even on his days off, he probably would. 24. What does Alex’s nickname imply? A. He is skilled at his work. B. He likes building boats. C. He is famous as a doctor. D. He cares for visitors aboard. 25. How did Alex feel when he crewed “Queen of the Lake”? A. Bored. B. Astonished. C. Relieved. D. Thrilled. 26. Why are the technological changes on the vessels mentioned? A. To indicate Alex’s success. B. To show Alex’s commitment. C. To describe Alex’s experience. D. To display Alex’s love for technology. 27. How does Alex sound at the end of the text? A. Strict. B. Ambitious. C. Honest. D. Humorous. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Alex在温德米尔湖游船公司多年工作，被称“船医”，热爱本职且坚守岗位的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He loves it so much that he’s still there after all these years and has earned the nickname ‘The Boat Doctor’, which has become a perfect match for what he does every day. He never fails to fix whatever problem there might be, anything from breakages, worn-out parts, to door handles.(他非常热爱这份工作，这么多年过去了依然在那里，还赢得了“船医”的绰号，这与他每天的工作完美契合。他总能解决任何可能出现的问题，从破损、磨损的部件到门把手都能修理)”可知，“船医”的绰号暗示他工作技能娴熟。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One highlight was taking charge of the wooden launch “Queen of the Lake” during its transport to London for the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. “It was a once in a lifetime event. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck sticking up!” says Alex. “To be part of history, I’ll never forget it!”(一个亮点是在木质游船 “湖之女王号” 被运往伦敦参加泰晤士河钻石禧庆典期间负责它。“这是一生一次的事件。我感觉脖子后面的头发都竖起来了！” 亚历克斯说。“能成为历史的一部分，我永远不会忘记！”)”可知，亚历克斯在负责“湖之女王号”时感到非常激动。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Things have changed a lot over the years. Technology on new vessels like MV Swift, which entered service in October 2020, is quite different from that on the heritage “steamers” like Tern, Swan and Teal. But Alex says he won’t change a thing about his life working on Windermere’s vessels.(这些年情况变化很大。像2020年10月投入使用的MV Swift号这样的新船的技术，与Tern、Swan和Teal等传统“蒸汽船”的技术大不相同。但亚历克斯说，他不会改变在温德米尔船只上工作的生活)”可知，提及船只的技术变化是为了体现亚历克斯对工作的投入与坚守。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even on my day off, I often watch the boats — I have to slip around like a spy because if anyone from work sees me, they shout, “Can you come and fix this, Alex?”(即使在休息日，我也经常看船 —— 我得像间谍一样溜来溜去，因为如果上班的人看到我，他们会喊：“亚历克斯，你能来修这个吗？”)”可知，亚历克斯的表述带有幽默感。故选D。 C For decades, Khoji Wesselius, living in a Dutch farming village, has noticed the distinct smell of pesticides during spraying (喷洒) seasons. Now, after volunteering in an experiment to count how many such substances people are exposed to, he was shocked to find he had exposure to eight different pesticides through his skin. Regulators closely monitor dietary intake of pesticides when deciding whether they are safe enough for the market, but little attention has been paid to the effects of breathing them in or absorbing them through the skin. According to a new study conducted by Radboud University, even people who live far from farms are exposed to several different types of pesticides from non-dietary sources. “What’s most surprising is that we cannot avoid exposure to pesticides in our direct environment,” said Paul Scheepers, a co-author of the study. “The real question is how much is taken up by the body.” The researchers got 641 participants in 10 European countries to wear wristbands continuously for one week to capture external exposure to 193 pesticides. In laboratory tests, they detected 173 of the substances they tested for, with pesticides found in every wristband and an average of 20 substances for every person who took part. Non-organic farmers had the highest number of pesticides in their wristbands, followed by organic farmers and people who live near farms. Consumers living far from farms had the fewest. While the presence of pesticides in the wristbands does not indicate direct health effects, the authors voiced concern about the number of different types. Researchers have suggested that some mixtures of different chemicals intensify their effects on the human body beyond what studies of individual exposure find. However, the study doesn’t determine how much of these substances actually enter the body. “I’ve asked myself, was it worth it to know all this?” said Wesselius, who says farmers in his village do not seem to consider the wind direction when applying pesticides. “It’s remaining in the back of my mind. Every time I see pesticide spraying, I see how unaware they are of the harm it can cause.” 28. What is the real problem in the study according to Scheepers? A. The types of pesticides. B. How pesticides smell. C. How much pesticide the body absorbs. D. The source of pesticides. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly show? A. Wristbands are effective. B. Participants are equally exposed. C. Pesticide exposure varies across groups. D. Organic food avoids pesticide exposure. 30. What does Wesselius express in the last paragraph? A. Gratitude. B. Powerlessness. C. Curiosity. D. Calmness. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Damages Caused by Pesticides. B. Pesticide Risks and Regulations. C. Widespread Pesticide Exposure. D. Ways to Fight Pesticide Exposure. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项欧洲研究发现人们会通过非饮食途径接触多种农药，阐述研究过程与结果，同时指出相关潜在问题及人们对此的态度。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What’s most surprising is that we cannot avoid exposure to pesticides in our direct environment,” said Paul Scheepers, a co-author of the study. “The real question is how much is taken up by the body.”(该研究的合著者保罗·斯海珀斯说：“最令人惊讶的是，我们无法避免在周边环境中接触到农药，而真正的问题是人体会吸收多少农药。”)可知，斯海珀斯认为这项研究中真正的问题是人体吸收农药的量有多少。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Non-organic farmers had the highest number of pesticides in their wristbands, followed by organic farmers and people who live near farms. Consumers living far from farms had the fewest.(非有机农场主的腕带中检测出的农药种类最多，其次是有机农场主和住在农场附近的人，住在远离农场的消费者检测出的农药种类最少。)”可知，第三段主要表明不同人群接触农药的程度存在差异。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’ve asked myself, was it worth it to know all this?” said Wesselius, who says farmers in his village do not seem to consider the wind direction when applying pesticides. “It’s remaining in the back of my mind. Every time I see pesticide spraying, I see how unaware they are of the harm it can cause.”(维塞柳斯说：“我曾问自己，知道这一切值得吗？”他表示村里的农场主喷洒农药时似乎从不考虑风向。“这些事一直萦绕在我心头，每次看到喷洒农药的场景，我都能看到他们对其潜在的危害一无所知。”)可知，维塞柳斯知晓农药的危害，却看到农场主们对此毫不在意，能体现出他内心的无力感。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“According to a new study conducted by Radboud University, even people who live far from farms are exposed to several different types of pesticides from non-dietary sources.(根据拉德堡德大学的一项新研究，即便是住在远离农场的人，也会通过非饮食途径接触到多种不同类型的农药。)”以及第三段中的“In laboratory tests, they detected 173 of the substances they tested for, with pesticides found in every wristband and an average of 20 substances for every person who took part.(在实验室检测中，研究人员在检测的物质中发现了173种农药，每个腕带中都检测出了农药，每位参与者平均接触20种农药。)”可知，文章核心围绕研究发现人们广泛接触农药这一内容展开，所以，“农药的广泛接触”最贴合主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 D Working alone is out of fashion. Our schools, companies, and culture are strongly shaped by an idea known as the New Groupthink, which claims that creativity and achievement come from an oddly sociable place. Most of us now work in teams, in offices without walls. But there’s a problem with this view. As psychologist Hans Eysenck observed, working alone helps people focus on tasks without wasting energy on social matters. William Wordsworth described Newton as “a mind for ever voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.” Many people achieve deep insights alone before sharing them with others. Culturally, we often overvalue personal charm and ignore the quiet part of the hardworking and creative process. Consider Apple. Most focus on Mr. Jobs’s supernatural appeal and tend to ignore the other crucial figure in Apple’s creation: a reserved engineer, Steve Wozniak, who toiled alone on a beloved invention, the personal computer. In 1975, Wozniak, inspired by the Altair 8800 in the Homebrew Computer Club, built a user-friendly computer of his own version within 3 months. He wanted to give his invention away free, but Mr. Jobs persuaded him to co-found Apple Computer. The story of Apple’s origin speaks to the power of collaboration. Mr. Wozniak wouldn’t have had his invention but for Altair and Homebrew. And he’d never have started Apple without Mr. Jobs. But it’s more a story of individual effort. If you look at how Mr. Wozniak got the work done-the pure hard work of creating something from nothing — he did it alone. In his memoir (回忆录), Mr. Wozniak offers this guidance to ambitious inventors: “Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me… they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. And artists work best alone… I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone. Not on a team.” True innovation comes primarily from working alone, as Wozniak emphasized. Inspiration from others, such as the Homebrew community and Steve Jobs, can help bring ideas to life, but it is the concentrated individual effort that ultimately makes breakthroughs possible. 32. What did Hans Eysenck observe? A. The value of working alone. B. The overuse of social skills. C. The sharing of deep insights. D. The problem of energy waste. 33. Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “toiled” in paragraph 3? A. Worked hard. B. Spoke up. C. Thought straight. D. Reacted quickly. 34. What is Apple’s story intended to tell us? A. Power of collaboration. B. Jobs’ wisdom. C. Wozniak’s focused work. D. Technology development. 35. What is Wozniak’s advice meant to guide? A. Creative invention. B. Working in teams. C. Artistic expression. D. Acting differently. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了单独工作的重要性，指出虽然合作有其力量，但真正的创新主要来自单独工作。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“As psychologist Hans Eysenck observed, working alone helps people focus on tasks without wasting energy on social matters.(正如心理学家汉斯·艾森克所观察到的，独自工作有助于人们专注于任务，而不会将精力浪费在社交事务上)”可知，汉斯·艾森克观察到的是独自工作的价值。故选A。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Most focus on Mr. Jobs’s supernatural appeal and tend to ignore the other crucial figure in Apple’s creation: a reserved engineer, Steve Wozniak, who toiled alone on a beloved invention, the personal computer.(大多数人只关注乔布斯的超凡魅力，却往往忽视了苹果公司创立过程中的另一位关键人物：低调的工程师史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克，他独自一人toiled，发明了备受喜爱的个人电脑)”及后文第五段“If you look at how Mr. Wozniak got the work done-the pure hard work of creating something from nothing — he did it alone. (如果你看看沃兹尼亚克先生是如何完成这项工作的——从无到有地创造一些东西的纯粹艰苦努力——他一个人就做到了)”可知，史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克是一位寡言少语的工程师，他在一个心爱的发明——个人电脑上独自努力工作。所以toiled在此处表示“辛勤工作；苦干”。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第五段“The story of Apple’s origin speaks to the power of collaboration. Mr. Wozniak wouldn’t have had his invention but for Altair and Homebrew. And he’d never have started Apple without Mr. Jobs. But it’s more a story of individual effort. If you look at how Mr. Wozniak got the work done-the pure hard work of creating something from nothing — he did it alone.(苹果起源的故事说明了合作的力量。如果没有Altair和Homebrew，沃兹尼亚克先生就不会有他的发明。如果没有乔布斯，他永远不会创办苹果公司。但这更是一个个人努力的故事。如果你看看沃兹尼亚克是如何完成这项工作的——从无到有创造出某种东西的纯粹努力——他是独自完成的)”可推知，苹果的故事想要告诉我们沃兹尼亚克专注的工作。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段“In his memoir (回忆录), Mr. Wozniak offers this guidance to ambitious inventors: “Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me… they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. And artists work best alone… I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone. Not on a team.”(在他的回忆录中，沃兹尼亚克为雄心勃勃的发明家提供了这样的指导：“我见过的大多数发明家和工程师都和我一样……他们生活在自己的头脑中。他们几乎就像艺术家。艺术家独自工作效果最好……我要给你一些可能很难接受的建议。建议是：独自工作。不是一个团队。”)”可推知，沃兹尼亚克的建议是为了指导创造性发明。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s a familiar routine: You send somebody an invitation-to a party, a lunch, a meeting and you wait for the reply. Yes or no. Or maybe. ____36____ In some cases, invitees aren’t sure whether they can attend. In other cases, they aren’t sure whether they want to attend. Invitees fail to see how much inviters preferred a “no” to a “maybe”. ____37____ Why does this disconnect occur? One likely reason is what psychologists call “motivated reasoning”. Motivated reasoning occurs when people bias their thinking to arrive at a conclusion that matches their own desires. For invitees, a “maybe” feels like a better response in the present. ____38____ It benefits them, so they convince themselves that it is also what the inviter wants to hear. Perhaps the biggest piece of advice is not to assume that someone would prefer for you to say “maybe” rather than “no”. ____39____ Is a conference call with a handful of “maybes” worth holding, or should it be rescheduled? By contrast, when you give a direct “no”, the inviter can move forward with a firm plan, knowing exactly what to expect. Another piece of advice is to put yourself in the shoes of the inviter before deciding how to respond. Taking the inviter’s perspective makes invitees more likely to think that a “no” is preferred to a “maybe”. ____40____ In the event that you do tell a person “maybe”, it is a good idea to give a definite answer as soon as possible. Whether your answer ends up being “no” or “yes”, having an answer allows the person to carry on with a plan. A. It shows their ignorance of inviters’ plans. B. It allows them to keep their options open. C. Why do people answer invitations that way? D. How can inviters realize they are really wrong? E. “Maybe” often raises more questions than answers. F. This simple exercise helps prevent motivated reasoning. G. They don’t even realize how rude a “maybe” feels to the inviter. 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. B 39. E 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人们回复邀请时常用“也许”的现象，分析其背后的心理原因，并给出更合适的回复建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“It’s a familiar routine: You send somebody an invitation-to a party, a lunch, a meeting and you wait for the reply. Yes or no. Or maybe.(这是一个熟悉的流程：你向某人发送邀请——参加派对、午餐、会议，然后等待回复。是或否。或者也许)”以及下文“In some cases, invitees aren’t sure whether they can attend. In other cases, they aren’t sure whether they want to attend.(在某些情况下，受邀者不确定自己是否能参加。在其他情况下，他们不确定自己是否想参加)”可知，此处应衔接上文的“也许”这一回复，提出疑问引出下文对原因的分析，C选项“Why do people answer invitations that way?(人们为什么会那样回复邀请呢？)”中的that way指代上文的Yes or no. Or maybe，以疑问引出下文内容，符合语境。故选C项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Invitees fail to see how much inviters preferred a “no” to a “maybe”.(受邀者没有意识到，邀请者更希望得到一个“不”而不是“也许”)”可知，此处应进一步说明受邀者对“也许”这一回复的认知不足，G选项“They don’t even realize how rude a “maybe” feels to the inviter.(他们甚至没有意识到“也许”对邀请者来说感觉有多无礼)”中的They指代上文的Invitees，even递进呼应上文fail to see，符合语境。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“For invitees, a “maybe” feels like a better response in the present.(对受邀者来说，“也许”在当下感觉是更好的回复)”以及下文“It benefits them, so they convince themselves that it is also what the inviter wants to hear.(这对他们有利，所以他们说服自己这也是邀请者想听到的)”可知，此处应说明“也许”对受邀者的好处，B选项“It allows them to keep their options open.(这让他们能够保留选择的余地)”中的It指代上文的a ‘maybe’，keep their options open解释了为何对受邀者有利，衔接下文，符合语境。故选B项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Perhaps the biggest piece of advice is not to assume that someone would prefer for you to say “maybe” rather than “no”.(也许最重要的一条建议是，不要假设别人更希望你说“也许”而不是“不”)”以及下文“Is a conference call with a handful of “maybes” worth holding, or should it be rescheduled? By contrast, when you give a direct ‘no’, the inviter can move forward with a firm plan, knowing exactly what to expect.(一场有几个“也许”回复的电话会议值得召开吗？还是应该重新安排时间？相比之下，当你直接说“不”时，邀请者可以带着明确的计划前进，清楚地知道会发生什么)”可知，此处应说明“也许”回复带来的问题，E选项““Maybe” often raises more questions than answers.(“也许”往往带来的问题比答案更多)”承接上文建议，引出下文对“也许”和“不”两种回复的对比，符合语境。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Another piece of advice is to put yourself in the shoes of the inviter before deciding how to respond. Taking the inviter’s perspective makes invitees more likely to think that a “no” is preferred to a “maybe”.(另一条建议是，在决定如何回复之前，设身处地为邀请者着想。站在邀请者的角度，受邀者更有可能认为“不”比“也许”更受欢迎)”可知，此处应说明这种设身处地做法的作用，F选项“This simple exercise helps prevent motivated reasoning.(这个简单的做法有助于防止动机性推理)”中的This simple exercise指代上文的put yourself in the shoes of the inviter、Taking the inviter’s perspective，呼应前文提到的motivated reasoning这一核心原因，符合语境。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tired of the cold reactions from passers-by, I often ended my morning walks wondering why people seemed so unfriendly.

I believe “AI Study Tips” is the better choice. With AI developing rapidly in today’s society, it has become an important tool in learning. This column could provide practical guidance on using AI responsibly and effectively, such as improving English, organizing study plans, or revising for exams. It would help classmates understand both the benefits and limitations of AI. For example, a tip on using AI to summarize reading materials could save time, but it can not replace students’ own judgment and creativity. Such content not only meets the needs of students but also fits perfectly with our newspaper’s goal to combine learning with innovation and interest. Yours, Li Hua Possible Version 2 Dear Bill, I’m excited about the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. I believe “Campus Crafts” would be a great choice. In today’s digital and AI-driven society, people often focus on screen-based learning and overlook the importance of hands-on activities. This column could introduce various craft projects, such as kite-making, DIY art, and simple woodworking, encouraging students to explore their artistic talents, develop practical skills and enjoy the process of creating. It is a fun way to balance intellectual learning with manual practice. Craft-making not only helps students strengthen their hands-on abilities but also fits perfectly with our newspaper’s goal of combining learning with innovation.

Many studies show that looking inward can help individuals make better decisions, improve relationships, and gain a clearer sense of direction. When used well, self-reflection works like a simple tool that brings order to one’s inner world. However, research also warns that too much self-reflection can create the opposite effect. Instead of clarity, people may feel trapped in repeated questions. Psychologists call this “over-reflection,” a state in which thinking becomes heavy and confusing. In surveys, students who spent long hours examining their emotions sometimes reported tired minds, tense shoulders, or trouble concentrating. These physical signs show that the body often speaks before the mind notices a problem. The emotional effects are similar. Healthy reflection usually ends with a small insight or a steady feeling. But over-reflection often leads to doubt, worry, or the sense of being stuck. Some people even become so focused on their inner thoughts that they stop noticing the world around them. They sit with friends but do not listen, or they walk through a day without really being present. Researchers suggest several ways to find a good balance. One is to set a clear goal before reflecting, such as understanding a conflict or exploring a choice. Another is to limit the time. Short daily practices, like writing for 10-15 minutes, can help people express their thoughts without falling into endless thinking. Keeping this routine also helps rebuild trust in oneself. Overall, self-reflection is neither all good nor all bad. It depends on how it is used. With purpose and limits, it can guide growth. Without them, it may lead people further away from the clarity they seek. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Self-reflection can help people understand their ideas and emotions, calming their inner world. But too much of it may lead to confusion, stress, and disconnection from others. Physical and emotional signals often show when reflection becomes uncontrolled. Setting clear goals and time limits helps maintain balance. Used wisely, self-reflection supports personal insight without overwhelming the mind. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，自我反思通常被视为人们理解自身思想和情感的有益方式，但过度反思则可能产生相反效果，导致思维混乱和身体不适。为避免过度反思，建议设定明确目标和时间限制，以保持平衡，促进个人成长。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①Self-reflection is often seen as a useful way for people to understand their thoughts and feelings. ②However, research also warns that too much self-reflection can create the opposite effect. Instead of clarity, people may feel trapped in repeated questions. ③In surveys students who spent long hours examining their emotions sometimes reported tired minds, tense shoulders, or trouble concentrating. These physical signs show that the body often speaks before the mind notices a problem. ④Researchers suggest several ways to find a good balance. One is to set a clear goal before reflecting, such as understanding a conflict or exploring a choice. Another is to limit the time. ⑤Overall, self-reflection is neither all good nor all bad. It depends on how it is used. With purpose and limits, it can guide growth. 2.缜密构思 将①整合为自我反思的积极作用；把②③合并，概括过度反思带来的身心及与外界脱节的负面影响；④提炼为研究者给出的平衡反思的具体方法；⑤总结自我反思的效果由使用方式决定这一核心观点，按“积极作用—过度危害—解决方法—核心结论”的逻辑整合要点。 3.遣词造句 Self-reflection can help people understand their inner thoughts and bring order to their mind if used properly. Yet over-reflection may cause mental confusion, physical discomfort and disconnection from the outside world. Uncontrolled reflection can be seen from physical and emotional signals. Researchers advise setting goals and limiting time for reflection to keep balance. Wise use of self-reflection can help people gain insight and promote personal growth. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Self-reflection can help people understand their ideas and emotions, calming their inner world.（运用现在分词短语calming their inner world作结果状语，简洁衔接自我反思的作用与结果，句式简洁且表达高级） 【高分句型 2】Used wisely, self-reflection supports personal insight without overwhelming the mind.（运用过去分词短语Used wisely作条件状语，替代if引导的条件状语从句，句式简洁紧凑，符合概要写作的简洁性要求） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河北省雄安新区 2025—2026学年度高三年级第一学期期末考试 英语 本试卷共12页，满分150分。考试时长120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How does the woman sound?

A research team led by Leonie Rutherford, a specialist in young people and media at Deakin University in Australia, surveyed 13,000 high school students about their free-time reading habits between March 2022 and June 2023. Here are the results of the survey. The study also looked at reading blogs, online magazines, and news media. Most students read these forms weekly or less often. Only 10% said they read them every day, while more than a third never read them at all. Listening to audiobooks was also uncommon, with only 13% of students reporting that they listened to audiobooks in their free time. Given these findings, the researchers suggest efforts to increase reading among young people. They point out that reading for leisure can improve vocabulary and contextual knowledge, support better school grades, enhance employment opportunities, and promote mental well-being. Supporting this view, a paper published in 2012 by a professor of educational research at the University of Bamberg in Germany showed that continuous reading leads to improved reading and writing skills, and that it is important to read books, rather than short content such as e-mails and blogs. 21. How many students read books every day according to the survey? A. 1,430. B. 1,560. C. 1,950. D. 2,080. 22. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Fading of traditional reading. B. Popularity in digital reading. C. Reasons for leisure reading. D. Reading outside of books. 23. What can we learn from the paper in 2012? A. Continuous reading is difficult. B. Reading books is more beneficial. C. Checking e-mails improves reading. D. Few students have good reading habits. B Alex Williamson was just a teenager when he began a “part time” job working on Windermere Lake Cruises famous passenger vessels (船舰). He loves it so much that he’s still there after all these years and has earned the nickname “The Boat Doctor”, which has become a perfect match for what he does every day. He never fails to fix whatever problem there might be, anything from breakages, worn-out parts, to door handles. He hates the idea of any visitor being disappointed. Alex started crewing vessels at sixteen and completed a six-year apprenticeship (学徒期) as a boat builder. His favourite vessels are the traditional wooden launches. “I see myself as their caretaker and won’t let them fall into disrepair on my watch.” One highlight was taking charge of the wooden launch “Queen of the Lake” during its transport to London for the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. “It was a once in a lifetime event. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck sticking up!” says Alex. “To be part of history, I’ll never forget it!” Things have changed a lot over the years. Technology on new vessels like MV Swift, which entered service in October 2020, is quite different from that on the heritage “steamers” like Tern, Swan and Teal. But Alex says he won’t change a thing about his life working on Windermere’s vessels. John Woodburn, Operations Director for Windermere Lake Cruises, says, “Alex has always been hard working. He learnt his boat building skills from the ‘old hands’ and these traditional skills are almost a lost art. He has a rare talent for fixing boats.” “I just love to see the excitement of passengers boarding. It’s magical,” Alex says. “Even on my day off, I often watch the boats — I have to slip around like a spy because if anyone from work sees me, they shout, ‘Can you come and fix this, Alex?’” And honestly, even on his days off, he probably would. 24. What does Alex’s nickname imply? A. He is skilled at his work. B. He likes building boats. C. He is famous as a doctor. D. He cares for visitors aboard. 25. How did Alex feel when he crewed “Queen of the Lake”? A. Bored. B. Astonished. C. Relieved. D. Thrilled. 26. Why are the technological changes on the vessels mentioned? A. To indicate Alex’s success. B To show Alex’s commitment. C. To describe Alex’s experience. D To display Alex’s love for technology. 27. How does Alex sound at the end of the text? A. Strict. B. Ambitious. C. Honest. D. Humorous. C For decades, Khoji Wesselius, living in a Dutch farming village, has noticed the distinct smell of pesticides during spraying (喷洒) seasons. Now, after volunteering in an experiment to count how many such substances people are exposed to, he was shocked to find he had exposure to eight different pesticides through his skin. Regulators closely monitor dietary intake of pesticides when deciding whether they are safe enough for the market, but little attention has been paid to the effects of breathing them in or absorbing them through the skin. According to a new study conducted by Radboud University, even people who live far from farms are exposed to several different types of pesticides from non-dietary sources. “What’s most surprising is that we cannot avoid exposure to pesticides in our direct environment,” said Paul Scheepers, a co-author of the study. “The real question is how much is taken up by the body.” The researchers got 641 participants in 10 European countries to wear wristbands continuously for one week to capture external exposure to 193 pesticides. In laboratory tests, they detected 173 of the substances they tested for, with pesticides found in every wristband and an average of 20 substances for every person who took part. Non-organic farmers had the highest number of pesticides in their wristbands, followed by organic farmers and people who live near farms. Consumers living far from farms had the fewest. While the presence of pesticides in the wristbands does not indicate direct health effects, the authors voiced concern about the number of different types. Researchers have suggested that some mixtures of different chemicals intensify their effects on the human body beyond what studies of individual exposure find. However, the study doesn’t determine how much of these substances actually enter the body. “I’ve asked myself, was it worth it to know all this?” said Wesselius, who says farmers in his village do not seem to consider the wind direction when applying pesticides. “It’s remaining in the back of my mind. Every time I see pesticide spraying, I see how unaware they are of the harm it can cause.” 28. What is the real problem in the study according to Scheepers? A. The types of pesticides. B. How pesticides smell. C. How much pesticide the body absorbs. D. The source of pesticides. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly show? A. Wristbands are effective. B. Participants are equally exposed. C. Pesticide exposure varies across groups. D. Organic food avoids pesticide exposure. 30. What does Wesselius express in the last paragraph? A. Gratitude. B. Powerlessness. C. Curiosity. D. Calmness. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Damages Caused by Pesticides. B. Pesticide Risks and Regulations. C Widespread Pesticide Exposure. D. Ways to Fight Pesticide Exposure. D Working alone is out of fashion. Our schools, companies, and culture are strongly shaped by an idea known as the New Groupthink, which claims that creativity and achievement come from an oddly sociable place. Most of us now work in teams, in offices without walls. But there’s a problem with this view. As psychologist Hans Eysenck observed, working alone helps people focus on tasks without wasting energy on social matters. William Wordsworth described Newton as “a mind for ever voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.” Many people achieve deep insights alone before sharing them with others. Culturally, we often overvalue personal charm and ignore the quiet part of the hardworking and creative process. Consider Apple. Most focus on Mr. Jobs’s supernatural appeal and tend to ignore the other crucial figure in Apple’s creation: a reserved engineer, Steve Wozniak, who toiled alone on a beloved invention, the personal computer. In 1975, Wozniak, inspired by the Altair 8800 in the Homebrew Computer Club, built a user-friendly computer of his own version within 3 months. He wanted to give his invention away free, but Mr. Jobs persuaded him to co-found Apple Computer. The story of Apple’s origin speaks to the power of collaboration. Mr. Wozniak wouldn’t have had his invention but for Altair and Homebrew. And he’d never have started Apple without Mr. Jobs. But it’s more a story of individual effort. If you look at how Mr. Wozniak got the work done-the pure hard work of creating something from nothing — he did it alone. In his memoir (回忆录), Mr. Wozniak offers this guidance to ambitious inventors: “Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me… they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. And artists work best alone… I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone. Not on a team.” True innovation comes primarily from working alone, as Wozniak emphasized. Inspiration from others, such as the Homebrew community and Steve Jobs, can help bring ideas to life, but it is the concentrated individual effort that ultimately makes breakthroughs possible. 32. What did Hans Eysenck observe? A. The value of working alone. B. The overuse of social skills. C. The sharing of deep insights. D. The problem of energy waste. 33. Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “toiled” in paragraph 3? A. Worked hard. B. Spoke up. C. Thought straight. D. Reacted quickly. 34. What is Apple’s story intended to tell us? A. Power of collaboration. B. Jobs’ wisdom. C. Wozniak’s focused work. D. Technology development. 35. What is Wozniak’s advice meant to guide? A. Creative invention. B. Working in teams. C. Artistic expression. D. Acting differently. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s a familiar routine: You send somebody an invitation-to a party, a lunch, a meeting and you wait for the reply. Yes or no. Or maybe. ____36____ In some cases, invitees aren’t sure whether they can attend. In other cases, they aren’t sure whether they want to attend. Invitees fail to see how much inviters preferred a “no” to a “maybe”. ____37____ Why does this disconnect occur? One likely reason is what psychologists call “motivated reasoning”. Motivated reasoning occurs when people bias their thinking to arrive at a conclusion that matches their own desires. For invitees, a “maybe” feels like a better response in the present. ____38____ It benefits them, so they convince themselves that it is also what the inviter wants to hear. Perhaps the biggest piece of advice is not to assume that someone would prefer for you to say “maybe” rather than “no”. ____39____ Is a conference call with a handful of “maybes” worth holding, or should it be rescheduled? By contrast, when you give a direct “no”, the inviter can move forward with a firm plan, knowing exactly what to expect. Another piece of advice is to put yourself in the shoes of the inviter before deciding how to respond. Taking the inviter’s perspective makes invitees more likely to think that a “no” is preferred to a “maybe”. ____40____ In the event that you do tell a person “maybe”, it is a good idea to give a definite answer as soon as possible. Whether your answer ends up being “no” or “yes”, having an answer allows the person to carry on with a plan. A. It shows their ignorance of inviters’ plans. B. It allows them to keep their options open. C. Why do people answer invitations that way? D. How can inviters realize they are really wrong? E. “Maybe” often raises more questions than answers. F. This simple exercise helps prevent motivated reasoning. G. They don’t even realize how rude a “maybe” feels to the inviter. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tired of the cold reactions from passers-by, I often ended my morning walks wondering why people seemed so unfriendly. Maybe it was the early hour, or maybe they were busy. But whatever the ____41____, each time someone walked past without a simple greeting, I still felt a quiet ____42____. One day my partner, tired of hearing me ____43____, finally said, “Maybe it’s you”. At first I ____44____ to admit it. But later, I began to reflect. I was somewhat shy, and perhaps I needed to make a real ____45____ instead of waiting for others to speak first. So I started a small ____46____. During each walk, I chose someone who looked friendly and said “hello”. To my surprise, many people ____47____. Feeling encouraged, I tried to ____48____ those who made brief eye contact. That ____49____ too. Soon I even said “good morning” to people who were talking on their phones. Not everyone responded, but enough did to keep me ____50____ and feeling something different inside. ____51____, something began to change. It wasn’t the people around me-it was me. By taking the first ____52____, I became more open, and ____53____, others seemed more willing to respond. I didn’t always get a friendly answer, but I ____54____ my walk feeling better than when I started. In the end, I learned a simple truth: if you want friendliness in the world, you have to ____55____ some first. And even if one person ignores you, the next might surprise you. 41. A. reason B. problem C. response D. secret 42. A. regret B. disappointment C. sympathy D. guilt 43. A. chat B. shout C. complain D. whisper 44. A. attempted B. pretended C. promised D. refused 45. A. management B. achievement C. sacrifice D. effort 46. A. firm B. experiment C. gathering D. campaign 47 A. smiled B. won C. hid D. hesitated 48. A. care for B. engage with C. worry about D. give up 49. A. continued B. changed C. mattered D. worked 50. A. dreaming B. waiting C. asking D. going 51. A. Similarly B. Regularly C. Gradually D. Instantly 52. A. lesson B. step C. test D. chance 53. A. on purpose B. on time C. in turn D. in vain 54. A. recorded B. finished C. delayed D. adjusted 55. A. offer B. understand C. experience D. identify 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Wuxi is a city where music flows like water. On October 31, 2025, UNESCO announced Wuxi’s inclusion in the Creative Cities Network ____56____ a City of Music, recognizing a place whose traditions ____57____ (ground) in daily life and education.

Many studies show that looking inward can help individuals make better decisions, improve relationships, and gain a clearer sense of direction. When used well, self-reflection works like a simple tool that brings order to one’s inner world. However, research also warns that too much self-reflection can create the opposite effect. Instead of clarity, people may feel trapped in repeated questions. Psychologists call this “over-reflection,” a state in which thinking becomes heavy and confusing. In surveys, students who spent long hours examining their emotions sometimes reported tired minds, tense shoulders, or trouble concentrating. These physical signs show that the body often speaks before the mind notices a problem. The emotional effects are similar. Healthy reflection usually ends with a small insight or a steady feeling. But over-reflection often leads to doubt, worry, or the sense of being stuck. Some people even become so focused on their inner thoughts that they stop noticing the world around them. They sit with friends but do not listen, or they walk through a day without really being present. Researchers suggest several ways to find a good balance. One is to set a clear goal before reflecting, such as understanding a conflict or exploring a choice. Another is to limit the time. Short daily practices, like writing for 10-15 minutes, can help people express their thoughts without falling into endless thinking. Keeping this routine also helps rebuild trust in oneself. Overall, self-reflection is neither all good nor all bad. It depends on how it is used. With purpose and limits, it can guide growth. Without them, it may lead people further away from the clarity they seek. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025至2026学年度高三年级第一学期期末考试听力部分现在开始。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。We're all sitting around for . the debut, except rusty, who hasn't turned up typical.
